Should people living with hepatitis B or hepatitis C get a COVID-19 vaccine?

Yes. People living with hepatitis B or hepatitis C appear to be at increased risk for poorer outcomes if they get COVID-19. It is therefore important that people living with hepatitis B and/or hepatitis C get vaccinated against COVID-19.¹
